Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bloglovin at 100% against iBlogger's 39%. Bloglovin also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). iBlogger's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (6 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iBlogger holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of iBlogger's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bloglovin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
